Before or After business rule?

[Aishwarya59]

Hi,

There's a reference field on table 'A' which refers to table 'A' itself. It is a parent - child relationship.

Scenario: Record ABC - has a field 'owner' and has a child record XYZ. Both the records are from the same table. When 'owner' in ABC is changed, same should be reflected in the 'owner' of XYZ as well.

I am planning to write business rule on table 'A' which will trigger when the field 'owner' changes. It will run on update only.

The confusion is, how do I avoid 'current.update()' here?

Because whether it is a before or after BR, this code -> (current.child.owner = current.owner) is not working.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Regards,
Aishwarya

You need to gliderecord the child before updating. It should be an onAfter br and GlideRecord the the child record and then update the child record.

Is child a reference field on the table? Usually parent to child are 1 to many. So we gliderecord and use a while loop to update all the child records.
